From: David on 25 Feb 2010 12:54 In this case a picturebox? Currently I use a structure which tracks each picturebox and holds the variables I need. However, if it is possible to add a property to the MS Picturebox object, this structure could be eliminated.

No direct way. However, you can put a PictureBox in your own UserControl to which you add whatever properties, methods, and even events you'd like. -- Mike
From: David on 25 Feb 2010 16:09 Thanks MikeD. I'm pretty sure (??) you can add a property to a form -- have to try and dig up and old article if of interest (believe McKinney) -- but wasn't sure about any other MS control. David.

You can add a property to a form because it has a code module. But controls don't have a code module.

Do you already use the Tag property? Does your program use DDE? If not, you could probably misuse the properties LinkItem and LinkTopic for your purposes. (not tested). Helmut. |
